Membership
The guild is
currently renewing membership for the 2026 guild year.
Membership dues are $60 per person and include membership in
the Modern Quilt Guild as well as the McKinney chapter. Bring
cash or check to the meeting to renew your membership!
Did you
know? We can use our Membership Receipts to get
10% off at McKinney Knittery. If you have thrown away your receipt,
you may be able to take a photo of it in the receipt book maintained
by the Membership Committee.
Community
Service
Stop by the
table in the back to pick up kits, or borrow a book with pattern
ideas for quilts.
Does your
employer track charitable time? Our organization is
a 501-3c, which means time spent on guild work may be eligible for
being tracked by employers who encourage tracking of charitable time.
Our quilts are also donated to a charity (CASA of Collin County in
McKinney), so any time worked on Community Service quilts should be
eligible as well.
Guild Board
The guild is looking for a VP of Communications, if you are
interested please contact President Sharon Tucker for more
information.
Events
Get those thinking caps on! March will be our annual Bunny
Basket Swap. Make a spring themed basket or bag or some small
container. Put up to $10 of extras in it if you want to, but
please avoid food and scented items as many of our members have
limitations in those areas. Try to focus on sewing themed items
if possible. More detail will be given in the next newsletter
but there's no reason to not start planning now.
